Challenges

We unite as one Gael community to support students in need through the President's Emergency Fund.

Contributions to the fund will directly impact our students, who as a byproduct of COVID-19 pandemic, are facing unprecedented hardships, including travels costs, barriers to distance learning, difficulty paying rent, and affording groceries.

Responding to a need that has grown significantly since mid-March and as such, the Board of Trustees and College leadership have all made personal gifts in support of the President's Emergency Fund.

SMC is grateful to also receive Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act funding, which will assist many of our students, but not all of our Gaels are eligible for this aid. We will leverage the PEF to ensure all students — even those who won't receive CARES Act funding — get the financial assistance they need at this crucial time.

Please join us and help the 385 students who have demonstrated need by making a gift to the President's Emergency Fund.
